git list all available commands

Is there command which can show me list of all available commands in GIT? There is git help but it shows:

usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path]
           [-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects]
           [--bare] [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>]
           [-c name=value] [--help]
           <command> [<args>]

The most commonly used git commands are:
   add        Add file contents to the index
   bisect     Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
   branch     List, create, or delete branches
   checkout   Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
   clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
   commit     Record changes to the repository
   diff       Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
   fetch      Download objects and refs from another repository
   grep       Print lines matching a pattern
   init       Create an empty git repository or reinitialize an existing one
   log        Show commit logs
   merge      Join two or more development histories together
   mv         Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
   pull       Fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch
   push       Update remote refs along with associated objects
   rebase     Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head
   reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state
   rm         Remove files from the working tree and from the index
   show       Show various types of objects
   status     Show the working tree status
   tag        Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG

See 'git help <command>' for more information on a specific command.

And I want just list without description.


Try:

git help -a


As @CharlesBailey already suggested, git help -a is a great way to list all of the subcommands that git offers. However, if you want to remove some of the formatting that git prints, that can be done too:

The easiest way to get a list of all git subcommands is as follows:

git help -a | grep "^  [a-z]" | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -v "^$"

This takes the output of git help -a, selects only the lines that are indented, converts spaces to newline characters, and then removes the empty lines.

Why would you want something like this? A common reason for wanting to list the subcommands of a command is to enable autocompletion in Bash:

complete -W "$(git help -a | grep "^  [a-z]")" git

Now, when you type git br and press TAB, it autocompletes to git branch. Enjoy!


If you are using linux (BASH). You can try

`$ git [TAB] [TAB]`

Then I got something like this:

$ git 
add                 fetch               rebase 
am                  fetchavs            reflog 
annotate            filter-branch       relink 
apply               format-patch        remote 
archive             fsck                repack 
bisect              gc                  replace 
blame               get-tar-commit-id   request-pull 
br                  grep                reset 
branch              gui                 revert 
bundle              help                rm 
checkout            imap-send           shortlog 
cherry              init                show 
cherry-pick         instaweb            show-branch 
ci                  log                 st 
citool              log1                stage 
clean               merge               stash 
clone               mergetool           status 
co                  mv                  submodule 
commit              name-rev            svn 
config              notes               tag 
describe            pull                whatchanged 
diff                push                
difftool            pushav
